Question: How does the windward side differ from the leeward side of a high land?
The windward side of a high land is the side facing the prevailing wind, which is usually the side that receives the most rainfall as the moisture in the wind is driven upwards by the topography and cooled, resulting in precipitation. The leeward side is the side facing away from the prevailing wind and usually receives much less rain as the air is dryer, warmer and less moist, resulting in less precipitation.
